Olivia dress & tunic

See the fabric requirements among the pictures.

YOU WILL NEED:

- Fabric: Light to medium weight knit fabrics, for example jersey, with at least 30% stretch. Heavier fabric such as french terry can also be used.

- Fusible interfacing with stretch for the neckline. It must have stretch, this is very important for a good result. The interfacing should also be slightly lighter than the main fabric.

- Fusible non-stretch interfacing, or woven fabric, for the button placket. It should be non-stretch since it’s purpose is to stabilize the button holes.

- Buttons. Their size and quantity is up to you. The button placket is designed for buttons that are 15-25 mm (5/8” - 1”) wide. In this tutorial there’s a guide on how to modify the button placket if you want to use smaller or larger buttons. You could also use snap buttons.

- Coordinating thread.

See the size guide among the pictures.

Choose a size based on your child’s chest measurement. The bodice has 3 cm (1 1/4“) positive ease, which means that the finished garment will be 3 cm (1 1/4”) larger than the chest measurement of that size.

If the child is between sizes, I recommend that you choose the larger size. The tunic has the same chest width as the dress, but it flares out in an A-shape.
